Ingo ◊ 2007-11-11 11:37	I'm wondering a bit about the Golf/Rabbit. It has the "late" backlamps (1981+), but round headlamps. Didn't the US-Rabbit always had the small rectangular sealed-beam-lamps?
DIEHARD ◊ 2007-11-11 14:05	Isn't it a GTI? It has the grille with chromed edges and widenend wheelacrhes...
Ingo ◊ 2007-11-11 17:37	The chromed edges weren't typical for the GTI, the older Golfs had them. So this doesn't really fit to the big back lamps. But perhaps someone has mounted an older front of that late version. Golf I-owners do this sometimes.
Hiergehts ◊ 2007-11-11 22:05	I think they used 2 different cars. The main pic is definitely a 1975-78 US spec "Rabbit" (side markers and large steel bumper) while the other is a post 1981 non US spec Golf 1.
